I can’t believe all the bitching over an easily defeated electronic governor.
Just wait, a few more posts and the ADM bitching will start again:cwl:

The Autobahn and Bonneville are the only places a GT500/ZL1/Hellcat/Z06 could legally hit 180mph stock , so unless you're planning on hitting either of those spots ...put your dick back in your pants.

If you're hitting 180 in "Mehico" you're just a Dick.

I’m waiting for the Camaro boys to come over and say well you’ll probably beat me around a track or down the strip. But if we both race til we run out of gas. I should eventually pass you with my awesome top speed advantage.:crazy:
Well, not trying to play devil's advocate, but you have to give GM credit. The ZL1 will go 20 mph faster, still offers the aggressive aero for those that want better handling, and it came out 3 years sooner than the GT500. Plus it's offered with a manual.

Yes, but the ZL1 1LE will not go over 180mph

By the way, I really like the 2018 ZL1 1LE cars.

Haha. This 180mph thing is being taken out of context. Look at this hilarious quote:

“The 2020 Shelby GT500, which is slower than a 5,300 lb Bentley SUV, goes on sale this summer. Pricing has yet to be announced.”

It is a GM based site, but thought that was good. The 500 is likely 1000 lbs less than the elephant Bentley.

I really think the GT4 wing will do weird things at 200mph and thats why the car is being limited... there is just no other reason that makes any sense and Ford is not going to have different ECU calibrations for each aero package so they used a blanket limiter.

Oh, that's why, huh? When were you included in this decision by Ford?

Weird things.... please elaborate

So in other words, you have no clue.
It's an opinion formed by considering possible reasons with zero rational reasoning given by the designer.

If you have factual data to prove my theory wrong please post it.

I see you said “no clue” instead of clueless. Clueless would imply he has some clues, just less clues. Your statement seems accurate.
